This morning was a unique experience for me. I sat enjoying my breakfast of scrambled egg and smoked salmon whilst looking out of the kitchen window at the two new chickens that laid the eggs only an hour or so before! (One of my new 'girls' pictured.)
The salmon was not home grown. Last night we sat down to baked marrow with red onion also from the garden. We had a bit of a marrow disaster a few weeks ago - the marrow wasn;t cooked through and tasted dreadful but this was delicious - the stack of marrows in the pantry will now be put to good use!
As for weight-loss this week - a one pound loss down to 12st 9 pounds.
Jeremy Jacobs asked if I was pleased with my progress. Honestly - not really. It's taken longer to get where I am, although doing it slowly was always part of the plan. I see the end of the year looming - and I'm not at my target weight yet. I'm sure my new-found interest in cycling has had a beneficial effect, but the weather has been SO bad, cycling has been impossible.
The no cereals of any sort 'rule' has been maintained - with one little exception - without thinking I bought some duck spring rolls - which I then realised had wheat in them - der!
Doing more exercise is the key. I just need to use that key more often.
